Secret Lab – Dark Deep Desires EPApril 2012 – KR060
Download Link
Secret Lab is one of those wonderful chip musicians with no internet presence who just suddenly appears out of nowhere and drops a demo of several beautiful tracks in your inbox. He has been secretly synchronising underclocked Game Boys in Rome for several years now, creating a mass of swirling arps in a retro-futuristique synth disco kind of way.

Another one of those pesky artists who use zany capitalisation. This is some straight up droney glitch outta space Game Boy stuff. There is also a rap. Everyone should have a rap.

µB – CorsairJuly 2011 – KR053
Download Link
Pirates were pretty cool before Johnny Depp decided to play a Rolling Stone in some never ending series about a ride or something. Maybe they are still cool because of Johnny Depp. I’m not sure. Anyway, this nostalgic release will take you back to the days of unlicensed pirate Lego and never ending disk swaps because you didn’t have a hard drive.

Droid Song – rainJune 2011 – KR052
Download Link
A short EP of lonely atmospheric songs about the rain. I can’t that imagine that it rains much in California though. It doesn’t seem to in The O.C. trailers anyway, or any of the west coast rap videos. Yeah, these songs are very mornful.

kraettz – Battle Ground MicrochipMay 2011 – KR051
Download Link
Throughout 2008 and 2009 a series of amazing intricate LSDJ breakcore tracks were uploaded to 8bitcollective and largely ignored in favour of the usual Game Boy melodic techno. Kittenrock has persuaded kraettz to re-record these breathtaking tracks as a proper release. Featuring exquisite drum programming and excellent glitchy sound design, this release seriously pushes the boundaries of what should be possible with a couple of Game Boys.
